About BNB Chain Builder Grants

BNB Chain Grants funds developers working on open-source and public-goods projects for the BNB Chain developer community. Besides money, grantees get technical support, marketing exposure and introductions to ecosystem partners.

You apply through a form at any time. Review has two rounds: a first check on relevance and technical merit, then a plan presentation where milestones and the grant amount are agreed. A grant project manager then handles the legal paperwork, milestone checkpoints and payment requests.

BNB Chain keeps a public wishlist of ideas on GitHub. The 2025 H2 list covers DeFi with AI features, risk analytics, privacy, decentralized AI, prediction markets, launchpads and developer tooling. Teams that need more than a grant can apply to the MVB accelerator instead.
